That sword cuts two ways Pinkel. Ask Richt about the way the second quarter closed out. Also about a few of those calls later in the game. We can all say that the refs were biased, but they can’t be biased for both side……that might make them fair!

Maybe he can turn in a few shots of their WRs pushing down Shaq Wiggins?

He did get on the guy on that double pass but only because he was being pushed away the whole way down the field. The WR only made the catch because of his willingness to keep Shaq at arm’s length for most of the play.

Is there really any doubt that we had a plan of hitting Franklin every time we had the chance? Playing a guy as fragile as he is, I’m sure we did. A guy like Herrera probably doesn’t lose his mind on a roughing the passer for no reason. And it worked; we just didn’t count on giving up 15 points after the backup came in.

Yeah, that UF defense is nasty though despite losing Easley. Holding that LSU offense to 17 points on the road, despite getting no support from their own offense………..Good gracious, I’m just hoping we can beat them like 10-9 or something. I’d think the line will be pretty close to a pick ’em, I’ll be super curious where they set the over/under though.

The play that stands out in my mind is the (very) late hit on Murray on the play he threw the INT. 3 steps and then a hit after the ball is out is exactly what Herrera got a Roughing the Passer flag for and what did not get called on that play.

And the TV guys were musing why it was not called (three steps on both plays)-one of them acted as if it should not even be considered. Bad refs, yes, but they really helped Mizzou win the game more than they hurt them.

Yeah, what was the deal with that one commentator? Straight up rebuked the other guy for pointing out that the hit on Murray was late. Didn’t know we had a Mizzou homer narrating the game. Glad I didn’t have to listen to him.

The refs didn’t whiff on the block prior to Murrary’s fumble, and the refs didn’t make Douglas fumble inside Mizzou’s five yard line. And the refs didn’t make Herrera commit that terrible, terrible RTP foul.

This loss was on our guys and coaches, and blaming the refs and announcers is just straight-up denial.
